Uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery approach for simultaneous lung cancer and thymic carcinoma: Case report and literature review.
Review in Thoracic cancer, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Thymic carcinoma is an epithelial tumor derived from thymic epithelial cells. Thymic tumors may be associated with other simultaneous and/or metachronous extra-thymic tumors (e.g., lung cancer). Here, we report a case of simultaneous surgical management of lung and mediastinal neoplasm together with a review of the literature. During radiological follow-up for prostate and colorectal cancer, an 82-year-old man was diagnosed with lung cancer with simultaneous mediastinal suspected neoplasm. Both were surgically removed with a single intervention performed via a uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (uni-VATS) approach. The literature emphasizes how extra-thymic cancer can be diagnosed before, concurrently and consecutively with thymic neoplasia. The surgical treatment of such simultaneous cancer is challenging. We succeeded in the excision of both neoplasia with a mini-invasive surgical technique. This report highlights the feasibility of uniportal VATS in a patient with very unusual clinical and oncological history.
